Lyrics

We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may
That come the twilight, should we lose our way
And if as we're walking a hand should slip free
Well, I will wait for you, and if I fall behind wait for me
Baby, we swore we'd travel, darling, side by side
That we'll help each other stay in stride
But each, each lover's steps fall so differently
I will wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear so the other may see
And I'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me
There's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
Well, I will wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me
I will wait for you, and I fall behind wait for me
Well, I'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me
I'll wait for you, baby, baby please wait for me
Darling, I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind wait for me
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind wait for me
